July 10, 200818 yr I'm in the market for a gps nav device, I'd like it to be voice activated and be simple to update w/ new maps as necessary. The only two brands I'm really familiar with are garmin and tom-tom, what else should I be looking at?
July 10, 200818 yr fi you have a smart phone I can give you a deal on a garmin once i get an iphone , otherwise, check out the mio 340 at radio shack
July 11, 200818 yr Author no thanks to the sterling advice i received in this thread, i went ahead and ordered a tomtom 730 today. Edited July 16, 200818 yr by tkam
June 23, 200917 yr Tkam, do you like your TomTom 730? I'm considering either a GPS or upgrading my wife's Blackberry to an iPhone.... I'm considering the Garmin Nuvi 760 as well. Edited June 23, 200917 yr by luvdunhill
June 23, 200917 yr I really like the Magellan 4250 that I got for Christmas this past year. It's cheap (~$125), the stock map has quite a bit of current information, around me at least and the screen is reasonably sized.. It's certainly not snazzy or top of the line and I like its GUI better than the TomTom's that I've seen.
June 23, 200917 yr I've been damn interested in a GPS for my bike, but I need a mount that will work with my clipons.
June 23, 200917 yr I've been damn interested in a GPS for my bike, but I need a mount that will work with my clipons. If you're going to use GPS on the bike I'd recommend not having it mounted anywhere and simply relying on the audible instructions. I don't want anything visually distracting mounted to my bike. I know some people do it, but it doesn't sit well with me.

Plus it would negate the need (ok not NEED perse, but preference) of water-resistance. I'm not actively searching right now, but it would be nice to have.
June 23, 200917 yr there are some good motorcycle based gps's, that are designed to be used with riding gloves.
